Miss Manners: Our school board member wonât stop knitting during meetings. Isnât this rude? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I hope you will weigh in on a situation that has caused quite a hubbub in our community. At public meetings, a member of our school board knits. It seems rude to me to be preoccupied when you are supposed to be listening to reports from the staff or comments from the public. Others defend her with outcries of, âYouâre dissing womenâs art!â or, âSome people are kinesthetic learners.â It just seems rude to me â like sheâs not giving them her full attention becaus
Miss Manners: How to stay on good terms with the neighbors when you support different political candidates (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I received an invitation from neighbors to a house party to meet a mayoral candidate in our town. I RSVPed that I hoped I could make it, even though I already knew that I supported another candidate, the incumbent mayor. Shortly thereafter, the campaign manager for the incumbent asked me if I would put a yard sign for him in my front yard. Because I support him, I agreed.

Miss Manners: Weâre all overusing the word âperfectâ (opens the original)

Read excerpt
DEAR MISS MANNERS: For work, I often attend meals with assigned seating â not just assigned tables, but individual chairs. I really enjoy these events, since they are opportunities to talk with seatmates I may not know well, or at all. So I returned to using assigned seating at dinner parties in my home, hoping to replicate the opportunity for my guests to get to know people better. Not only did it achieve this objective, but it also made it so much easier to gracefully meet dietary or beverag
Miss Manners: Handling a roommate dispute before it gets out of hand (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DEAR MISS MANNERS: Iâm a college student who used to share the common area of my dorm room with one girl, Missy, while a third roommate, Artemis, has her own room with a door. She has a boyfriend (with his own apartment) who is over all the time, which I didnât mind, because heâs a nice guy. But since Missy left, Artemis and her boyfriend have taken over her area, depriving me of any sense of added privacy. They make out on Missyâs bed while Iâm trying to work, and he recently plunked
